Getting a bit needled

Some friends of ours had a bit of a nightmare this week.
Their one year old, baby C, was due for her MMR immunisation. When they were sent the appointment, they realised to their horror that it was possible that the ‘jabber’ might be evil Nurse Maureen whose ham fisted, ‘treat the kid like a [...]

In the words of George Michael

My emails and internet have been down all day and all night. I went to Rosie’s to post from there and took the wrong password, duh, which is why there’s a weird message at the end of yesterday’s comments, which I will reply to in the morning. (the comments, not the message.)
I am [...]

Creepy Crawly Adventure

I cannot write a post today as I have been eaten by an enormous spider.

It gulped me down as I tried to see it off with a shoe earlier today.
Miss M decided to don protective gear and attempt a rescue. Miss E’s swimming kits seemed the ideal solution, and as Miss E was upstairs [...]

So I set you all that challenge.
You know, the one where I said,
“I want to know about your first ‘celebrity’ crush. You know, the one you fancied from that band, or that film, or who read the news, or who won Gold at the Olympics.
Did you have their pictures on your wall or in your [...]

Fun Monday and sick blog

We’re here, sort of…
If you’ve not guessed before, I am having a blog disaster at the moment.

So we’re in that shop that we go to quite a lot.
It’s my kids’ favourite shop in the whole of…the small town where we live.

Who’d have ever thought that the Sparrowhawk would be such a picky eater?

I mean, Miss E, Miss M and I learned on Saturday that sparrowhawks like to eat woodpeckers,

but apparently they will only eat a woodpecker, if it has previously eaten a weevil,

and the weevil must have been feasting on woodland.

Oak, woodland.
I mean, piiiiiicky.
And how [...]
